Was not an actual firebut a smoke odor and audible alarm. But Dothan Fire has to respond as an actual structure fire until emergency units are on the scene and determine otherwise. That call was dispatched at 7:46 PM and was a multi unit response, and this accident call came in at 7:54 PM, which were 8 minutes apart. Dothan Fire, Pilcher Ambulance and Dothan Police and Dothan 911 never experienced one single hiccup at all. All went smoothly.
